[Elecraft] KX3 Solar backpacking power advice

[Jim Brown]

Joe,

I'm not sure how exact you need info to be, but there's been a lot of it 
here, some of it from me. I and others have recommended LiFePO4 
batteries from Bioenno Power for this application. They had a booth at 
the Visalia hamfest last month.

This company is also a known good source.

Both are small companies located in California, both are easy to talk to 
via email and land line, both are good to deal with. Both sell battery 
packs assembled from a Chinese factory with whom they have a direct 
relationship, in many sizes and shapes to fit all sorts of replacement 
applications.

I bought a 20Ah battery and charger from Bioenno Power.
